Florence

FLORENCE     Florence –  the capital of the Tuscany region and the cradle of Renaissance   We opted for Flix Bus while traveling from Venice to Florence. The road journey takes about three and a half-hour. In Florence, it terminates at the rear end of Santa Maria Novella (SMN) train station. One of Italy’s busiest stations, it got its name from Santa Maria Novella Church just across the plaza from the main entrance. We debarked at the station and refreshed ourselves at McDonald's before hiring a cab for our hotel. Florence, popularly known as ‘Firenze’ by the Italians, is located in central Italy. This dreamy city with a romantic name is the regional capital of the lovely Tuscany region.   Columbus Hotel, where we stayed, is located in Lugarno District. We always prefer to book our hotels through Booking.com as we always land up getting good hotels at good locations.

SOME LOVABLE VISITORS TO OUR HOUSE

I love nature. To work and live in a congested city and still embrace nature is a piece of luck. Its like hitting the jackpot. I hit it when I shifted to a new address about three years back. Close to the hustle bustle of a city yet far from the madding crowd. Nestled in abundance of nature. Close to Sultanpur Bird sanctuary in Haryana watching a wide variety of birds sitting in the comfort of ones house is definitely a rare piece of luck. My wife Ruby has made bird watching a hobby. She has captured some beautiful moments in the verandah of our house. Enjoy these.
